Antoni Gaudi: Design Spotlight

Monday, July 17, 2017

It's Heather here with our Design Spotlight Monday! This week we are spotlighting the imaginative Catalan Art Nouveaux Architect, Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi is revered as much for his highly individualized organic forms as for his complex understanding of geometry and structure. His work is influenced by both nature and religion and largely transcends a single style or classification.

Throughly studying organic forms and geometry, Gaudi sought for innovative ways to express these forms in architecture. He rarely drew two-dimensional detailed plans, but preferred designing in three-dimensional structural models and molding even the smallest detail as he conceived them. Gaudi also involved himself in the details of all structural and ornamental elements.

Gaudi stood out equally as an interior designer. Decorating most buildings personally from the furnishings to the smallest details, Gaudi was a prolific furniture, hardware and interior designer. He considered detail and craft into his architecture including ceramics, stained glass, ironwork, and carpentry.

Jess manages a career as an interior and hardware designer, and, in her spare time, raises her three year old son Bryan, 9 month old Lucy, and her nearly-adult husband, Scott. Having grown up in both Hong Kong and Dallas and subsequently lived in New Jersey, Boston, Brooklyn and Los Angeles, Jess draws from a wide range of design inspiration - if something creates drama, adds texture, feels local, provides quiet sophistication, and occasionally sparkles, it will likely be dear to her heart.

JAIME TOLLAS was born and now lives in San Francisco, where she and her husband are raising two crazy kids, an elementary-aged son and a preschooler daughter. They all inhabit a two-bedroom apartment in a high-rise in the Financial District, and spend a lot of time riding the elevator, building Legos, finding new monkey bars to tackle in hundreds of city playgrounds, and cruising the waterfront with the stroller, snagging samples from the Farmer's Market and searching for seals (which are everywhere) and sharks (which, mercifully, never materialize). When not chasing her kids, Jaime works as a non-profit fundraising strategist, and acts as chief content director for the online magazine postmodyrn which she co-founded in 2014. She chronicles the working-mama madness on her blog Less on the Floor, and indulges her serial stylin'-mama obsession here, at Nest Studio.

JESSICA BURNE DAVIS is the sales/marketing/operations/jack-of-all-trades for Nest Studio LLC. Born in New York, moved 7 times before the age 19, Jessica is now happily rooted in New Jersey with her husband and two daughters. Her love for art and design began as a young girl building Barbie dream house additions using reclaimed materials. Always practical, Jessica then rented out the space to her pesky younger brother. In adult life, her career followed a similar path combining her degree in Finance with her passion for the arts as a Vice President in JPMorgan’s Private Bank Art Advisory group. Outside of work, Jessica can be found devouring a good book, working on home improvement projects, and practicing, unsuccessfully, to master a side crow in yoga.
